Fill the bottom of the tray with a thin layer of baking soda.

Ask the kids what they think will happen and have them fill in their predictions on the sheet.

Squeeze vinegar onto the baking soda with pipettes and watch what happens.

Have the kids record what happens on their worksheets.

If kids are too young to write, they can draw a picture of their predictions and results.
